10 Rupees

Burma, Government of India,10 Rupees, Rangoon, 10th August 1918, serial number KD/10 54213,Struck at Rangoon during the final phase of the First World War, this issue stands among the great rarities of the Government of India series. Printed in small numbers for use in Burma, these Rangoon notes were quickly lost to time — withdrawn, redeemed, and destroyed following Burma’s separation from India in the 1930s. Few escaped the humid tropics or the hand of the cashier’s hammer.Survivors such as this are therefore extraordinarily rare, treasured for their link to a fleeting chapter in imperial monetary history. For many collectors, a Rangoon note represents the ultimate challenge within the George V series — an artefact both exotic and emblematic of the farthest reach of Indian paper money.(Jhun&Rez 2A.2.3D.3, Pick A5c),in PMG holder 25 Very Fine, spindle hole at issue, holesSubject to 20% VAT on Buyer’s Premium.
